GRAND RAPIDS – A Grand Rapids man allegedly caught with $1,620 in counterfeit bills has been indicted by a federal grand jury on a charge of possessing counterfeit money.

Daquawon Desmond Haten, 21, is free on an unsecured bond after an earlier appearance in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids.

Grand Rapids police arrested Haten on Feb. 6 after a woman with Haten tried to use a fake $100 bill at a gas station. She left the store after being confronted by a clerk. She has not been charged.

Police arrested Haten during a traffic stop, court records showed. An officer had seen the suspect’s Grand Am leaving Family Dollar on South Division after a gas station clerk provided police with a description of the car and license plate, records showed.

When police stopped Haten, he had $386 in cash in one pocket, and $1,620 in fake bills in the other, authorities said.

Haten told police that he bought $3,000 in counterfeit money from a man he knew in Detroit.
